* When a speaker gets stuck and repeats statements—the quickest way to lose your audience

* How speakers connect with an audience: find out something about them and compliment them, smile, breathe “from your heart,” visit the venue beforehand, and stand and stride purposefully and confidently,

* Mirror neurons–why the audience will feel the speaker’s anxiety
* How someone else’s nervousness and anxiety will have an effect on you

Holly is a co-faculty member with me at the University of Texas at Dallas. She is also on the faculty at Georgetown University’s Insitute for Transformational Leadership. In her exploration of team and group coaching today, we are looking at how team and group coaching help to evolve cultures.

Holly’s second book, Build a Coaching Culture From the Inside, is coming out soon!

* The importance of a clear coaching agreement with each person
* How to address the logical concerns team members might have
* Where Holly gets clients: through word of mouth and partnering with other coaches
* How transformation happens when clients are looking to build more collaboration, innovation, and connection
* The difference in training and coaching is that the leaders are accountable for how they develop
* One of the foundational pieces of coaching is how you see yourself as a leader
* How coaching engagements are structured with a coaching plan, feedback, and assessments
* How coaching takes place on the inside and is not immediately visible on the outside
* The multiplier effect and peer coaching
* Why group coaching is more economical for the client
* Holly’s strict expectations and how she structures her groups

Fran Fisher is a Master Certified Coach who is recognized internationally as a pioneer in the industry. Fran is a published author, international speaker, and founding ICF executive board member who helped develop the credentialing program for aspiring coaches and training schools. She provides coaching services for individuals and small business owners, executives, and collaborative work teams. She is committed to transforming their satisfaction and fulfillment in work through coaching. You’ll hear that she’s passionate about training, coaching, and mentoring both beginning and experienced coaches. She’s here to walk us through the PCC markers for establishing a clear coaching agreement. PCC markers were established by the ICF to help us better understand what we as coaches do in being true to the competencies within the client conversation. Each competency has a different number of marker. We’re walking through the five under establishing a clear coaching agreement.
Show Highlights:

* How Fran came into coaching after a final workaholic “fry-out” episode in 1989—and then the magic unfolded
* A coaching course—and she became a “flag-waving champion for coaching”
* How she later founded her coach training school, Academy for Coach Training, and helped form the first international foundation
* What we need to know about the competency of an established coaching agreement
* The context of coaching: the sacred space of unconditional love (and acceptance), where the learning, growth, and transformation naturally occur
* How “deeper, sooner” play into the coaching process
* The transformation zone: the key is that you are coaching the client, not the issue
* The Five Competencies in Creating the Coaching Agreement:

* Coach helps the client identify, or reconfirm, what she/he wants to accomplish in the session.
* Coach helps the client to define or reconfirm measures of success for what she/he wants to accomplish in the session.
* Coach explores what is important or meaningful to the client about what she/he wants to accomplish in the session.
* Coach helps the client define what the client believes she/he needs to address or resolve in order to achieve what she/he wants to accomplish in the session.
* Coach continues conversation in direction of client’s desired outcome unless client indicates otherwise.

* Ask the curious questions to explore
* Explore what is meaningful to the client—the motivation
* How to tie the measure for success to the outcome
* How to invite the client to lead the conversation
* Establishing the coaching agreement IS the coaching!

* Ignoring sales and marketing–The solution is to have a strategy to get better at the business of coaching and follow successful coaches and their techniques.

* Having the confidence to charge what you’re worth will come if you get a mentor to help

I created this platform in order to connect coaches with resources, and that continues to be my driving force behind doing the podcast. I want coaches to know the importance of new learning,
I decided to bring forth some of the key learning we highlighted during the first 99 episodes of the show to celebrate the 100th episode. I have compiled key information from some incredibly wise coaches for today’s line-up and I believe their insight is so important that it is well worth listening to again.
Show Notes:

* Coaching as a profession is relatively new and is ever-evolving.
* Janet Harvey, an ICF Master Certified Coach, joined me in episode 58 and reflected on the true meaning of coaching.
* Janet further highlighted the differences between coaching and other helping professions.
* Coaching Core Competencies help us understand the space we hold for our clients. The ICF has more recently established the PCC Markers and they have been added to each competency for even more clarity.
* Teresa Pool, Master Certified Coach, highlighted coaching presence in episode 41.
* Continuing the coaching presence and releasing personal judgment conversation is with Dr. Marcia Reynolds, Master Certified Coach, from episode 40.

* Cynthia Loy Darst, MCC, from episode 1, discussed partnerships and the reality of coaching relationships.
* Cynthia Loy Darst also discussed re-contracting with clients to address less than productive patterns in episode 1.

Marie has worked for corporate, workforce, corrections, universities, private practices, and is consistently pursuing the latest strategies and tools to achieve the best client outcomes in every setting. We talk about how we, as professional coaches, can create a way that puts us in front or our audience that isn’t about labels and titles but brings a story to the profile. This is a good follow-up to last week’s show about SEO because once you get people to your website, you have to consider how you present yourself to them and make sure you stand out among others.

* Think about who your audience is
* Don’t be afraid to lead with bold statements
* Record yourself speaking about yourself

* Your bio can be changed and updated as you find the words and phrases that best describe you
* Things to know about LInkedIn:

* Have another way to interact besides just LinkedIn
* Don’t make your first LinkedIn contact with someone a sales pitch
* Determine how active you want to be on LinkedIn

* Things to include in your profile: who you are, who you work with, what you do, and why you do it
* Balance keywords and use the allowed characters to put descriptions in title fields
* Marie’s tip to implement NOW: Make sure your target audience isn’t too broad. Be brave in thinking who they are and what problems they struggle with

Can people find you on Google? In today’s world of technology, your website and your SEO should be at the top of your list of priorities,
Dr. Karen Finn is a content marketing expert, but she didn’t start out that way. After years of struggling to build her divorce coaching practice through networking, social media, and speaking–with little success, she discovered the world of content marketing. In just 18 months, the number of visitors to her website had grown by more than 2000%, which translated into a significant growth in both clients AND income. The funny thing that happened with all the work she put into learning and implementing online marketing is that Karen discovered her love for this field. She now uses that passion to help other coaches and small business owners grow their businesses online.
Show Highlights:

* In Karen’s professional journey, she started as a chemical engineer and then went through a divorce that rocked her world and set her on the path to be a divorce coach
* She did her coach training, set up her practice and website, and then felt like a failure because it wasn’t working—until she discovered the world of SEO (search engine optimization)
* What is SEO? It boils down to how you can be found online–which means EVERYTHING to your business
* Things to consider in building your website:

* It has to stay updated and current (Take a look at others’ sites that are successful)
* It doesn’t have to cost a fortune (It can be very affordable!)
* It needs to meet your needs NOW (You can update and upgrade as you go)
* It needs to be secure and protected for privacy (Website visitors will not proceed or give you personal information if the site is not secure!)

* How clients can know your site is secure: Talk to your website host company and ask for an “https”
* What you need to know about cookies and GDPR
* Let your clients know about any new and updated privacy policies by sending an email to your mailing list
* How Karen changed her website to implement her SEO strategy
* Why Karen discovered the need for writing blogs twice weekly for 18 months
* The miraculous results of writing her blog: In 10 months, her website visitors increased from 225 visitors/month to 5000 visitors/month!
* Today, Karen averages 1000 visitors/day to her website!

<p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.starcoachshow.com/95-jason-amon-pc-protecting-your-assets/">95: Jason Amon, PC: Protecting Your Assets</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.starcoachshow.com">StaR Coach Show</a>.</p>Have you taken the proper legal steps to protect your assets? If you’re a business owner, then today’s show is for you, as we discuss the need to protect your assets, the options available to you, and the dangers of being a sole proprietor.
Jason Amon is an attorney who has been practicing law since 2011. His firm focuses on estate planning, probate, and limited liability company formation. Prior to opening his law office, he was a teacher of Advanced Placement Macroeconomics. Jason has a broad range of business and technical experience, including financial software design and project planning. He has a varied background that leads to an incredible ability to work with his clients to meet their business needs. As I recently created my LLC, Jason is the attorney I chose to help me through the legal process. In today’s show, he shares information about making the important legal decisions to protect your assets and the benefits of that protection.
Show Highlights:

* Jason’s overall perspective of how being a business owner intersects with the legal aspects you should know
* The #1 thing to consider within your business is that your business liability attaches itself to your personal identity and assets
* The two routes to take for asset protection are to establish a legal entity or pay on a regular basis for insurance
* The different kinds of entities and how to choose between an LLC or a corporation
* Ongoing costs and expenses for a business owner
* The unique value for Jason in specializing in LLC’s
* The expectations for record keeping and “piercing the corporate veil”
* How a business owner should pay themselves: either pay yourself wages or have a distribution of profit to yourself as the owner
* Jason’s advice is to consult a CPA to set up your pay system properly
* In addition to having an attorney handle the legal portion of your LLC, a CPA can help you set up the tax portion
* Make sure your attorney and your CPA have access to each other to work together and keep everything about your business on the same page
* Jason’s advice in finding an attorney to help create a legal entity for your business: Consider their fee structure (whether it’s hourly or a flat fee) and whether you prefer a large or small law firm

My guest is Kelley Russell-DuVarney, a Certified Positive Psychology Coach and ACC-credentialed member of the International Coach Federation. She holds an MA in Sociology with a focus on technology, globalization, and gender. Her training and education background allow her to notice the self-imposed and societal barriers that get in the way of desired success for her clients. Her passions are developmental and goal-oriented coaching as she coaches managers, executives, business owners, and women in technology. Kelley shares how she partnered with another coach to bring services to women in tech forward, things to consider in developing a similar program, and what you can learn and apply in order to use your coaching to impact societal change.
Women leave tech because of lack of role models and mentors and a feeling of isolation.
Show Highlights:

* How Kelley pursued coaching after graduate school in her 40’s after a stint as a stay-at-home mom

* How Kelley partnered with another coach to do research and collect data on women’s experiences in tech
* Why they settled on virtual group coaching to maximize their impact and reach
* What women say about leaving the tech field: lack of role models, lack of mentors, and a feeling of isolation
* The flexibility in the group coaching program for women’s schedules
* How this program can move forward and have an impact at the organizational level
* Kelley’s advice on starting a similar coaching program: start with a survey, spend time with the research, and use the evidence to move to a pilot program
* Determining the basics of a coaching partnership and how they worked through the process
* Why a coaching partnership can be energizing in innovation, creativity, and collaboration
* Why a coaching partnership requires a real willingness to be vulnerable
* How Kelley’s sociology background impacts her coaching work
* The facts: women in STEM fields stay for an average of 12 years and 50% exit around year 12; of those, 50% step into other sectors other than tech fields

My guest is Mike Caracalas, a speaker, author, and leadership coach. He spent 20 years in the corporate world and he says he “lived to tell about it.” When he began his career, he was filled with optimism and intentions to make his corporate life great, but he experienced incredible highs and very challenging lows. That led him to author the book, Corporate Life is Hell: How to Liberate the Leader Within You and Be Happy in Your Career. Mike is dedicated to coaching corporate executives who seek liberation to become happier, more effective leaders and people. Today, he shares his perspective and how it comes down to mindset, no matter who you’re coaching.
Show Highlights:

* Mike’s journey into coaching, which began in 1995, and then he left the corporate world 8 years ago to be a full-time coach
* Why Mike left the corporate world and realized his perspective was due to some of his own shortcomings and failures
* How having his own coach has impacted his coaching work
* Mike’s first coaching purpose: “to be the liberator to free people to live life consciously”
* How Mike helps liberate others from FEAR and tap into courage
* The reaction of his clients when he shines the light on fear
* Mike’s 3-step formula for how to show up differently as a leader: Show up, connect, and take responsibility
* How presence shows up in a wide range and has an enormous impact
* Why we need to be honest about what the reality is so we can be a creator of change
* How Mike helps leaders connect with their values and clarify them with his “Values Excavation”
* How his perspective comes from his 20-year corporate experience and he’s not afraid to share that in authentic ways
* How we choose to show up and respond with perspective to “corporate hell”
* Why the catchy book title and the powerful subtitle
* How Mike’s personal spiritual awakening experience is chronicled in the book
* How we humans create a lot of suffering in our world because of our ego
* How the suffering in “corporate hell” can be something you are liberated from through awakening
* Why Mike left the corporate world and hasn’t gone back

Have you ever thought about this as a potential coaching field? You probably haven’t, unless you are a veteran who has experienced this drastic life change y...
Dr. J. Howard works with veterans who are transitioning out of the service and into civilian life. He helps military leaders find positions outside the military where their specific skill set can be best utilized. Dr. Howard has an extensive background in different industries and federal service, along with 20 years in the military. He received his military training at West Point and his Ph. D. from Syracuse University. Having firsthand experience in the military as active duty and reserves has given him a framework within which to bring coaching into this challenge of transitioning from military to civilian life. He is committed to helping veterans through the process to find success.
The biggest challenge for vets is facing the unknown of civilian life.
Show Highlights:

* Howard’s new practice and why he was led to work in this niche, primarily because of his military training, his service, and his expertise
* The unique challenges and concerns of veterans who are getting ready to leave the “safety net” of the military and face the unknown
* The two hurdles veterans face: the challenge of matching their leadership skills into a job in the civilian sector and being able to understand the unwritten rules that govern the civilian workplace
* How J. works with veterans at the entry point of civilian life and then a few years later when they are ready for advancement
* The unique challenges of transferring certain military skills and jobs into the private sector
* How J. helps vets craft their resumes around their skill set and helps them learn to communicate effectively
* The key first step: To help them figure out what they want to do and focus on that
* How J. helps them gain clarity, using assessments and deep conversations
* How J. deals with the resistance that always accompanies change by helping his clients frame their desires, expectations, and visualizations
* The shift in perspective in working with people outside the military and how vets have to adjust their expectations
* How J. works with those who move up the corporate ladder to create a leadership development plan by using the LPI (Leadership Practices Inventory) and other tools
* What J. likes about the LPI is the encouraging the heart aspect and motivating others through leadership
* How J.’s leadership background positions him to help his clients
* Why service members make the transition to civilian life: either their commitment or enlistment is up or they have served 20 years and are ready to retire
* With retirement around age 40, they have plenty of time to transition into another career
* The common theme among veterans is that they want to continue to serve in some capacity, either on the federal, local, or non-profit level
* The time frame of J.’s work is usually 3-6 months and then again years later
* One of the biggest stressors for veterans is having to take on regular civilian financial obligations

How many of life’s problems can be boiled down to simple conflict resolution? If we stop and think about it, most likely there are MANY common problems that come down to resolving conflict. Make no mistake about it, though, conflict resolution is rarely a simple or easy undertaking. It takes practiced skill, insight, and vision to handle conflict successfully. Today’s show will help us get clear about conflict in our lives as coaches, and give us a framework to better understand how to help our clients with their issues around conflict.
Dave Gerber is the president and founder of Synergy Development and Training. He is known as “The Conflict Healer” for his work in motivating people to become the best version of themselves. As a motivational speaker and coach, Dave inspires audiences to transform the way they engage with the world around them. He simplifies complex ideas into elegant solutions with actionable learning–and with strategies, you can implement right away! Today’s show focuses on one of Dave’s favorite tools, Christopher Moore’s Sources of Conflict.
Show Highlights:

* How we can approach conflict as coaches
* Why conflict is messy and people weren’t taught conflict resolution skills in school
* Christopher Moore’s tool can help people apply wisdom faster and is “gold” to a coach
* All conflicts fall into one of five categories as the primary source of the conflict:

* For values, we have to look at how they show up as behaviors
* Structural conflicts occur in relation to the function of a business or family. Processes improvement can help. Ask, “Can it be done better? How can I approach the person in charge with these changes?”
* In relationship conflicts, coaches must question their clients to see if their perceptions and assessments are correct

* Using this tool will increase our listening around the source of conflict for our client
* The more tools we have to deal with conflict can reframe and empower ourselves AND our clients

I don’t think its similarity, but curiosity. I believe to the core of my being that we are all connected-that every living being is a part of a force greater than ourselves.
I believe to the core of my being that we are all connected-that every living being is a part of a force greater than ourselves. Society has a responsibility to each other to honor that connectedness and as coaches we can use the skills that we have developed in coaching to role model curiosity and an interest in others. Today, I wanted to do a solo show to explore the idea of connectedness and the power of curiosity.
Coaches transform lives, and in the process, our own lives are transformed. The way we interact with others has a profound affect on what we know and believe about ourselves. In fact, the very skills that you hone as a coach are the skills that will deepen your sense of connectedness. You can use your listening skills and, ultimately, your curiosity, to forge connections between all kinds of people. An open and curious mind can bond with anyone, even the ones who, on the surface, might seem completely unconnected.
I am excited to dive in with you today as we think about coaching, connectedness, and curiosity.
More in this episode:

* Learn which thinking patterns inhibit curiosity.
* How I infuse curiosity into my own teaching.
* Discover the cognitive distortions that might be interfering in your own life.
* Ask questions and determine how someone might be thinking differently.
* Be wary of jumping to conclusions.
* Our emotions often get in the way of understanding.
* What I learned from other thought leaders on humanization.
* How can we make a difference in a world that tends to de-humanize and de-value those who are different?
* Be curious and never assume.
* Sources where you can learn more about someone’s opposing view or perspective.
* Humankind is humankind! It doesn’t matter where we are from.
* Watch for information about how you can get involved in an upcoming interview!

David Steele got his start as a Marriage and Family Therapist but then fell in love with coaching. In 1997, he founded the Relationship Coaching Institute, the first of its kind. He is the author of Conscious Dating: Finding the Love of Your Life and the Life That You Love and Radical Marriage: Your Relationship as Your Greatest Adventure. David speaks from experience. He has been divorced twice but has found his soulmate in his wife, Darlene. He is living out his dreams of adventure on a sailboat, where he is thrilled to continue his coaching practice.
Today, David is going to teach us the very same tools he uses with clients. For David, instead of giving advice, he prefers to use open-ended coaching paradigms for helping his clients understand relationships and develop effective relationship strategies and skills. For example, he explains a useful paradigm for coaching singles he calls his Four Steps for Conscious Dating: “Scout, Sort, Screen and Test.”. He also teaches us the power of managing expectations and establishing what he calls “Requirements, Needs, and Wants,” another relationship coaching paradigm. As coaches, we offer possibility but don’t play the expert in the coaching dyad. The beauty of coaching lies in our ability to change lives as an act of service, rather than an act of egoism. You can do so much to transform a life simply by being yourself.
“You don’t need to be an expert to coach, you just need to apply your coaching skills expertly.” – David Steele
More in this episode:

* David celebrates the flexibility of the coach’s lifestyle.
* How David describes the specialty of relationship coaching.
* The difference between relationship coaching and a therapist providing couples therapy.
* We all have problems that hold us back, but finding success is the key to unlocking our happiness.

* You can prepare while you are single to set yourself up for success in your desired long-term relationship.
* How coaches can use open-ended coaching paradigms to help their clients with their relationships.
* A coach is needed to help clients get 100% out of their lives.
* Good coaches don’t claim to be a dating guru. We do claim to help our clients get results and find happiness!
* You have to let go of attachment to being the expert with your client to be a better coach.

We often use mindfulness as a calming or centering practice for our clients, but have you ever stopped to consider it as another coaching tool? Dr.
Mindfulness is a simple practice of paying attention to thoughts and feelings without judgment. Patricia does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to mindfulness. She acknowledges our unique cognitive differences and offers practical methods to make the practice our own. As coaches, we have the ability to showcase the power of mindfulness to anyone. We can encourage our clients to take the time out of their busy days to become centered and tap into that inner wisdom. This can lead to increased confidence, a balanced schedule, and lowered stress.
I will often say on this show that “heal thyself” is one of the most important guiding principles of a good coach. As Patricia illustrates the power of mindfulness for her clients, we can also take the principles we are learning and use them in our own daily lives. Let’s allow ourselves the time to slow down and practice mindfulness.
More in this episode:

* How Patricia fell into mindfulness and coaching at the same time.
* Explaining mindfulness to the leaders we work with.
* Integrating mindfulness into executive coaching is all about building self-awareness.
* Leaders are responding positively to mindfulness techniques.
* Patricia’s best tips for maintaining your mindfulness practice.
* Mindfulness can help center you through life’s ups and downs.
* Why mindful leaders make the best leaders.
* Mindfulness also boosts confidence.

Rick’s work is legendary, his concept of helping people to gain freedom from their self-defeating behaviors an...
Rick first developed the concept while working with runaway teens and their families in the Chicago area. This was where he first realized that every problem, regardless of how it presented itself, came down to a particular kind of duality- between the monster of the mind and one’s heart of hearts. He developed a method and started teaching it and then, eventually, he decided to write it all down. Listen in to find out more about this really powerful concept.
Show highlights:

* Rick explains what initially lead to him writing Taming Your Gremlin, which was first published in the early 1980’s.
* It was really a strong concept for Rick to write about, as he had been using and teaching them for years before writing the book.
* In A Master Class in Gremlin Timing (the sequel), where all the vignettes are absolutely true, it’s about how to use the concept with other people, whereas Taming Your Gremlin is more about how to use it in your own life.
* It takes a lot of time to learn to use the concept and it is best done by first living it in your own life, before using it to help others.
* Rick explains his Gremlin Taming Method. It begins with a process that Rick calls ‘simply noticing‘ and this has nothing to do with figuring anything out. It’s about your awareness in the current moment.
* You will become aware of tension in your body while ‘simply noticing’- and this will bring you in touch with your observer, or your heart of hearts, which is really the essence of the natural you. This awareness will bring about a natural correction in you.
* You really free yourself by simply noticing how you’re imprisoning yourself, in the moment. This is about developing response-ability.
* One of the hardest things for Coaches to get across is that people have to go on their own, deep there is no short cut. It really does have to be self-discovered.
* This work really cannot be forced. It takes practice.
* In Rick’s experience, people really do dive in and do the necessary work.
* Gremlin Timing is about helping people to plug back into that infinite thing that we all have, inside us. Remember- you’re not your body, nor your personality, nor your thoughts.
* It’s about walking deeper into the pain, to get to the essence behind it.
* The true love is always there, on the inside! It never leaves you!
* Our breathing is what connects the infinite power with our bodies.
* Rick explains the difference between his books.
* If you’d like to learn more about Rick’s methods, you can use his A Master Class in Gremlin Timing, or you can go to Youtube, and type in ‘Tame Your Gremlin part 1’ (Or part 2, 3, 4 or 5) to get short clips.

Donna starts out by explaining her journey from the drama of rescuing...
Donna and her husband, David Emerald, author of The Power of TED*(*The Empowerment Dynamic) work together at The Power of TED* and teach the concepts from this work around the world. Donna, who has fifteen plus years as a professional coach, had to recognize that she was in a pattern of habitual pleasing and accommodating. Becoming aware of this pattern motivated her to make the shift away from rescuing to empowering. She is able to use her awareness of her past patterns and behaviors to teach others healthier, more productive roles.
In today’s interview, Donna shares her family and professional history. She initially studied nursing and then immediately went into psychiatric nursing. Her job was to diagnose, treat, help and please. She became interested in Health Care and ran for the Oregon Legislature and served several terms in Partisan politics. It was only a few years ago that she realized that her motivation in running for politics was to fix the other politicians- possibly even to fix the whole world. As her children grew up and had some issues with substance abuse she realized through working with Al-Anon and addressing her co-dependency, that her rescuing and pleasing tendencies were in evidence there too. Listen in to find out more about this concept and about why diagnosing and fixing is really not coaching!
Show highlights:

* Donna’s realization of the amount of harm that rescuing and pleasing actually does.
* Professional Coaches cannot actually coach if they are unable to see their own need to fix others.
* The roles of victim, persecutor, and rescuer– the ways of managing stress that make up the Karpman Drama Triangle.
* The rescuer is the role in society that is most supported.
* The qualities that make up the role of rescuer.
* The sense of, self-righteousness, or superiority that can come about, from being a rescuer.
* Why rescuers ultimately always become victims.
* The resentment or the animosity that can easily develop between the rescuer and the people that they’re trying to rescue.
* The dance around the Drama Triangle can happen very quickly.
* You have a choice about the roles that you choose to play.
* If you, as a Coach are working harder than the client, it’s a tell-tale sign that you are rescuing.
* You really dis-empower others by rescuing them, as a Coach.
* As a rescuer, you unknowingly suppress what you really feel about a situation and you can eventually flip and become angry.
* The fine line between caring and letting go and caring so much that it’s your only focus in life.
* Being more aware of the value that you’re bringing to the client, rather than allowing their strength to come into the situation- another sign that you’re rescuing.
* The mistrust that can result from rescuing, rather than Coaching.
* Some things that you could apply immediately, to shift your mindset and your behavior, upon becoming aware that you’re rescuing.
* Becoming the creator of your own life.
* Shifting from persecutor to challenge.
* Coming to see yourself as you truly are- as a Spiritual Being.
* Realizing that there really is another way to live.
* Self-care– this is learning to ask for help.
* Notice your relationship with silence- check your level of discomfort there.
* Limit your time with fellow rescuers and also with victims- they can trigger your rescuing behavior.

<p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.starcoachshow.com/41-becoming-a-master-certified-coach-with-teresa-pool-mcc/">41: Becoming a Master Certified Coach with Teresa Pool, MCC</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.starcoachshow.com">StaR Coach Show</a>.</p>The guest for today’s show is Teresa Pool and we’re going to be picking her brain today to find out all about what it takes to become an MCC (Master Certified Coach), which is really a pinnacle that many people reach for.
In today’s episode, Teresa, who began her career as a Computer Programmer, starts out by talking about what she was doing prior to becoming an Executive Coach and why she eventually decided to quit that career. She also discusses what brought her into the field of coaching in 2001. Listen in now, to get some really valuable tips about becoming an MCC.
Show highlights:

* What brought Teresa into the field of Coaching.
* Teresa’s way of deciding about the kinds of clients that she wanted to work with as a Coach and also, what she wanted her path, as a Coach, to look like.
* A lot of her current work is around Executive Performance and Career Development growth.
* The Two Phase Process of the required practices that are necessary for somebody looking to reach the level of MCC. 1) You really have to be extremely competent in the ICF Core Competencies. 2) You need to experience a mindset shift, to make the final shift into becoming an MCC.
* Teresa helps a few PCC’s every year, to make the shift to becoming MCC’s, by helping them to discover the missing internal thing, that allows them to embody what Teresa calls the ‘ICF Walks On Water Model’ of being an MCC. It’s really an internal way of being and thinking differently.
* Some of the more difficult skills and ways of thinking that Teresa and her clients have had to incorporate. Coaching Presence is really the basis for all the others and Trust and Intimacy form a wonderful container for the client to be in. You really have to internalize though, that as a Coach, that every time you have helped a client, you take away their power. This really requires a lot of faith in the process, as a Coach.
* Coaching as a process has an amazing power. You need to take both that power and the client’s power and put them together. You’re really just there to hold the container!
* It’s really the internal work that can ultimately help to let go and learn to trust the process, in that second phase. This is about discovering where you still feel that it’s about you and also, working on active listening and powerful questioning– and not being satisfied with the surface thing that the client brings to the table. This is what differentiates an MCC from a PCC.
* Really solidifying your skill set through unlearning it in order to relearn it, to make the next leap to becoming an MCC.
* A commitment to the profession and also a real willingness to explore both your dark spaces and everything you’ve learned so far, to make it as an MCC.
* Some of the things that Teresa might listen for in a coaching call if she was looking to give some really concrete guidance to someone.
* Being responsive to what the client has just said in the moment and staying in the place of curiosity.
* What are the PCC markers, that were created by the ICF?
* Looking at the markers can also be a great muscle building tool, for the MCC, so you can download them from coachfederation.org
* The really scant information that’s available about what happens behind the scenes, once you’ve released the necessary requirements to the ICF for an MCC. The ICF is, however, trying to change that.
* What you really need to look for, if you’re going to hire a Coach to mentor you to get to MCC level.]]>Meg Rentschlerclean28:4940: Using Emotional Intelligence to Connect with Your Coaching Clientshttps://www.starcoachshow.com/40-using-emotional-intelligence-to-connect-with-your-coaching-clients/

Some of the main points are:

* Why branding is really so important in today’s times.
* That part of branding is owning the congruency of who you really are.
* Staying congruent with your branding as you move from one part of your life into another. I.e. re-branding yourself.
* Going more to the core characteristics of yourself, when creating or re-creating your brand, rather than going with your job title.
* The three parts to the REACH methodology that Susan works with: 1) Looking at and discovering who you are (Where Susan spends about 60% of her time with her clients), 2) Looking at how you’re going to communicate who you are and also who your target audience is – and also who your competitors are, 3) Communication– writing a bio or a resume, and also social media.
* Being strategic and using the right words to communicate yourself clearly and really align with who you are, as a person.
* Looking at the clothes you wear, colors you use, your website and even your email signature, for congruency.
* That Susan’s clients really enjoy her directness.
* How Susan managed to get clear about who her target audience really is.
* The REACH process- How it can really help people and what it’s about. The 360 Reach looks at you as a person and really gives people a lot of direction.

* Some advice for networking really effectively.
* A hard part of networking and branding is looking at ‘what makes us the same?’
* Trying things out to see how comfortable you are with saying it a certain way.
* That working on your brand brings out your honesty about who you really are.
* That branding is about really being authentic and owning who you are.- Really not an easy process.

Are you a little panicked at the thought of that? If so, today’s show will really help you, as Meg will be explaining about managing your credential,
Today, Meg will look at the elements that go into your re-credential requirements and she will also discuss ways that you can manage your credential, whether yours will expire in six months, eighteen months, or three years. Listen in now, as Meg talks about how you can manage the process, to bring you the best benefit and to stay on top of it and she also gives you some tips on how to maintain your credential on an ongoing basis, so that it goes really smoothly when you need to renew it. Meg points out that today, she will only be dealing with the process of renewing credentials at their current level.
For those of you that are credentialed Coaches through the International Coach Federation, the largest Coaching Association to advance the field of coaching, if you have an ACC, PCC and MCC credential, it is important to remember that we have to maintain our credential on an ongoing basis. The ICF requires you to renew your credential every three years. By renewing your credential, you are demonstrating a commitment to the professional standards of the coaching field- and to your own ongoing learning and development as a Coach. The ICF website, at www.coachfederation.org includes detailed explanation of the requirements covered in this show.

Some of the main points are:

* Looking at the commitment to ongoing learning and growth and that this is more of the norm than unusual, in many occupations.
* That in the three years that the credential is valid, there is a requirement to participate in at least 40 hours of continuing coach education (CCE’s).
* Of the 40 hours, at least 3 hours of the CCE’s must be in the area of coaching ethics. There’s a link to the Ethic CCE Course at coachfederation.org and as a special service to all of you, the ICF Global and Ethics Community of Practice developed a complimentary training course, that gives you 3 Ethics CCE units.
* The 40 hours are divided between Core Competency CCE and Resource Development CCE. So at least 24 of your 40 hours must be in Core Competency credits. These refer to Advanced Coach Training, writing or research that are directly related to the ICF Core Competencies.
* There is a detailed table under ‘renew your credential’ on the ICF website, that describes the different sorts of training that qualify for Core Competency credits. The chart also has the many different ways that you can focus on your skill development and core competencies and gain those core competency credits, even if it’s not in a pre-approved ICF training.
* Some key elements that you really need to be aware of with Core Competency credits.
* The Ethics Course meets the ethics requirements and it also fits into the required 24 hours of Core Competencies credits.
* When it becomes time for your certification renewal, you want to be certain that you’re supplying the correct documentation, as listed on the Coach Federation website.
* What the Resource Development credits consists of.
* If you’re renewing an ACC credential, you’ll have another requirement, as well as the 40 hours- 10 hours of Mentor Coach...]]>Meg Rentschlerclean29:3737: Shift Positive 360 with Jen Ostrich and Pete Berridgehttps://www.starcoachshow.com/37-shift-positive-360-jen-ostrich-pete-berridge/

Niemiec</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.starcoachshow.com">StaR Coach Show</a>.</p>Have you ever felt like you needed a new paradigm for coaching clients? Shifting from coaching from a place of “what’s wrong” to focusing on “what’s strong” can dramatically change the results for you and your clients.
Today’s guest is Ryan M. Niemiec, Psy.D., the Education Director of the VIA Institute on Character, a non-profit organization in Cincinnati, Ohio, that is viewed as the global leader in advancing the science and practice of character strengths. Ryan is author of the 2017 book, Character Strengths Interventions: A Field-Guide for Practitioners and several others including: Mindfulness and Character Strengths; Positive Psychology at the Movies; and Movies and Mental Illness. He’s an award-winning psychologist, certified coach, international workshop leader, and adjunct professor at the University of Pennsylvania and Xavier University. As a frequent keynoter and workshop leader, he’s offered several-hundred presentations on positive psychology topics across the globe.
Show Highlights:

* The Character Strengths are a holistic framework: Wisdom, Humanity, Courage, Transcendence, Community-based and Temperance are the categories of the framework
* We are all wired to strengths blindness, so as a coach we can spot and reinforce strengths in our clients in a fresh way.
* Character strengths are part of our core identity, our capacities for how we think, feel and behave.
* Ryan’s job is to advance the science and practice of these character strengths
* Learn the origins of Character Strengths and the years of work that preceded it.
* Identifying Signature Strengths – the highest 5-7 of their strengths are the most energizing, the easiest for them to use
* Ryan’s rule: for every session he must spot and reinforce one character strength
* Character strengths can help actualize our other strengths

This is the concept taught by Dr. Brené Brown, that focuses on owning our stories and choosing to love ourselves through the good and bad. It also focuses on embracing our vulnerability and ...
So as a follow-up to last week’s episode, today we are discussing the 10 Guideposts of Wholeheartedness, and these are from Dr. Brené Brown’s book, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are. Today we are taking wholeheartedness a bit further as we help our clients cultivate a deep sense of love and belonging, in spite of any failings and imperfections.
The 10 Guideposts of Wholeheartedness:

* Cultivating Authenticity – this is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be and embracing who we really are. Authenticity is also brought about as we invite grace, joy, and gratitude into our lives.
* Cultivate Self-Compassion – self-compassion cannot co-exist with perfectionism. So if we want to be compassionate to ourselves, the first thing we have to let go of is perfectionism. Perfectionism can paralyze us and create a fear in our lives that is incredibly counter-productive. Meg shares the 3 elements of compassion in the episode.
* Cultivating a Resilient Spirit – There are 5 traits of people who exhibit resiliency that Meg shares in this episode. Being resilient means you can bounce back when adversity strikes. Being adept at bouncing back can be very helpful on the journey through life’s ups and downs. If you don’t possess a lot of natural resilience, listen to the episode to learn how you can build it and keep it in reserve for the next crisis.
* Letting Go of Scarcity – it’s hard to be joyful and grateful when you are fearful and afraid. This fear is what leads us to scarcity. Joy and happiness are profoundly different, and you can maintain one throughout any circumstances you face. Continuing to function from a place of joy and gratitude will lead us down the path of wholeheartedness.
* Cultivating Intuition and Trusting Faith by Letting Go of the Need for Certainty – Dr. Brown defines it best – “Intuition is not a single way of knowing, it’s our ability to hold space for uncertainty and our willingness to trust the many ways we’ve developed knowledge and insight, including instinct, experience, faith and reason.”
* Cultivating Creativity by letting go of Comparison – as long as we are creating, we are cultivating meaning. Wholeheartedness includes creativity which helps us make our contribution to the world.
* Cultivating Play and Rest by letting go of exhaustion as a status symbol and productivity as self-worth – Our society glorifies those who sleep 3 hours a night and we push the limits of human endurance to prove our value and worth. We need time to play and rest in order to be joyful and grateful. Meg talks about the concept of respecting our body’s need for renewal.
* Cultivating Calm and Stillness by letting go of anxiety as a lifestyle – The reality is that we all have anxiety in our lives. The more aware we are of our anxiety, the more we can re-direct our thoughts to gratitude and joy. This can create the calm and stillness in your life that is vital to wholehearted living.
* Cultivating Meaningful Work by letting go of self-doubt and “supposed to” – most people who do meaningful work have made specific choices and decisions to make their work meaningful. This takes letting go of the “shoulds” and allowing yourself to honor what you feel is meaningful.
* Cultivating Laughter, Song, and Dance by letting go of being in control – we live our lives in fear of what others think of us. We worry and fret over our “perception” among our peers. Realizing that laughter, song, and dance can create connections and meaningful m...]]>Meg Rentschlerclean29:1927: Being Wholehearted with Meg Rentschlerhttps://www.starcoachshow.com/27-wholehearted-meg-rentschler/

Today’s guest is Fran Shuster, PCC and she’s here today to talk about her coaching work in the education world. She shares with us how she’s using coaching to change culture and challenge norms in education. She has also seen the powerful results when educational leaders show up as coaches first. This paradigm shift improves communication with the organization, empowers the members of the organization, improves conflict resolution among team members and leads to increased engagement from administrators, teachers, parents and students. The result is a more collaborative school that has a better chance of achieving the educational goals placed on the organization.
Fran Shuster was an early adopter of the professional coaching model and is part of the first wave of students and active members of the International Coach Federation (ICF), the global leader in professional coaching. She was an early contributor to the ICF North Texas Chapter, serving as president in 2006. She has served in various roles and capacities in support of and contribution to professional coaching, both as a volunteer and as a leader, faculty instructor, mentor, coach and partner in Results Coaching Global, LLC. Frances has also been active in the University of Texas at Dallas coach training program since 2008, serving as an instructor, supervising mentor and assessor. She continues to be in conversation with the “movers and shakers” of the global coaching community, who are working toward maintaining the integrity and vitality of professional coaching now and into the future. She is co-author of Results Coaching: The New Essential for School Leaders (2010) and Results Coaching Next Steps: Leading for Growth and Change (2017).

“We have seen cultures begin to change just because people begin to listen differently with full presence.” – Fran Shuster
